Default what are you guys running?(swaybar)

so i think its come time for a new front sway bar. it seems like its geting old. where the endlink bolts to the bar is loose. but the link is tightened all the way it can. so ive been looking around to see what everyone else is running and cant seems to find much about this.
so post up what front and rear sway bars you are running(please no stock unless its helpful) and where you got them from.

I'm using poly D-bushings and endlink bushings for the stock front swaybar (to minimize wear and tear on the bushings) and upgraded the rear to a Progress bar. There's no need to upgrade the front bar unless you want more understeer.

Tanabe 30mm hollow bar up front with adjustable end links, and custom 3 piece 1.25" x 0.250" rear sway bar with adjustable end links.

If you're using an off the shelf rear sway bar, I'd just stick with the OEM front sway bar.

Yep sounds like just the link needs to be replaced. I have ST bars front and rear love them she handles like a champ.

well some of that was helpful.
i dont need opinions on what is a waste or that the stock setup is fine. i asked what all was being used out there.
people with aftermaket stuff, where did you get them

oh btw...
the progress rear swaybar was intended to be used on the 4th gen..
sure it bolts up....
but the bar binds with the LCA if youre dropped...or even on suspension load

i had to raise the swaybar as high as it can physically go and also made shortened endlinks
